Jane Jensen's Pinkerton Road Kickstarter

Post by mondo84 »

Hey all,

For the adventure gamers, or even fans of classic or story-driven games, check out Jane Jensen's kickstarter project.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/100 ... 2-2013-csg

Voting is happening this weekend to decide which concept her new studio will develop first, but all three games will be made at some point during the first couple of design cycles.

Jane is one of the all time greats and she needs all of your help!

This kickstarter thing is getting a bit silly.

Devs like Wadjet Eye can produce and sell awesome titles like Gemini Rue at ridiculously low prices. Yet just because OMG IT'S SOMEONE WHO USED TO BE FAMOUS, people are supposed to funnel 300 000 USD into something which might one day turn out to be good.

Tons of new updates.

TWO games will be produced in the first yearly cycle. One will be Moebius, and the other is currently a mystery game that Jane cannot yet reveal. Many suspect it's a remake of the classic Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers.

See all the updates and info on the main project page.

We are now at $313k and looking solid with 11 days to go. Any additional funding will go into Moebius (voice actors, additional game locations, etc.).

New concept art was released today:

Less than 19 hours left in the campaign. We are less than $8000 from reaching the $400k stretch goal. Super exciting.

We need more backers. Let's get 6000 people behind this project!

There are some really cool updates from the last week or two. Check them out!

$400k virtually reached!

$50k more will result in the main theme recorded with live orchestra and an additional 1000 lines of dialogue.

14 hours left!

Two more hours to join the kickstarter and get an all new game (or two if you pledge $50) from Jane Jensen.

We hit about $435k on the kickstarter plus $5k with Paypal.

Jane will still be taking Paypal donations through the Pinkerton Road website:

Pledge by May 25 to have access to the same rewards as the kickstarter tiers. After that point pledging will still be open but some of the goodies may not be available!

Most likely more pledges among the next week or two will put the project above $450k for the third and final stretch goal to add more dialogue and live orchestra music.
